## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading
*by T***D on July 5, 2025*

Definitely worth reading if you enjoyed the first book. Different in style, but explores themes started in the first and wraps it up neatly in the end.I really enjoyed it, and it has a lot of interesting imagery. You can see the authors Catholic influence.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A massive jump in complexity and ambition from the first book, for better and for worse
*by J***E on May 4, 2023*

I really enjoyed Dan Simmons's Hyperion, a series of nested narratives told by a group of pilgrims on their way to see an avatar of death; in fact, I enjoyed it so much that I basically instantly bought The Fall of Hyperion, the second half of the book (it was originally planned as one book, apparently)...and then suffered pretty extreme whiplash. Fall couldn't be more different from its predecessor; gone are the nested narratives, the focused emotional stories, the limited perspective. Instead, what you get is a massively sprawling tale about galactic war, artificial intelligences, the nature of God, the poetry of John Keats, and much, much more. Yes, we continue the tale of our pilgrims, but we also add in many, many more characters, all of which constantly shift in and out of the story, which is also unfolding across numerous time periods - oh, and did I mention that some of the sequences are unfolding in non-chronological order? Look, Fall of Hyperion is ambitious, and I like that in my books, but the difficulty jump here is extreme; indeed, for a while, I really struggled to enjoy this book, which felt like it was turning its back on everything I enjoyed about the original. But as Fall continued, I started to see the ideas of the series - ideas about humanity's relationship with God, about how art helps us to process the world, about parenting and sacrifice - and the series's ambition started to justify itself. I still think Fall is perhaps too complex for its own good - this is the rare time when I can honestly say "I wish this was two books" and I had more time to take in some of the nuances and complexities, instead of sometimes just having to pull up a summary to make sure I wasn't missing some of the connections. But I can't deny how fascinating and rich the text is, nor the scope of Simmons's imagination, and I'll be continuing onto the second half of the series...probably a little later, though, after a bit of a mental break.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A whole-book crescendo
*by N***S on July 22, 2025*

A fantastic finish to an amazing saga. Simmons brings it to an epic close in unexpected ways that I have yet to fully comprehend. These two books will be worth a reread in the years ahead.
